A bit off topic, but: What’s a funny test api that allows put requests? I have a personal cheat sheet that I refer to when I need to make JSON/REST api request using base Python or Curl, since I don’t do this enough to actually remember how. Right now my examples pull chuck norris quotes, but it would be nice to have examples that aren’t just `get` in my tool box.

I have a few qualms with this API: 1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem, and copying all the Owen Wilson "Wow" audio (.ogg) files. 2. It doesn't actually replace a USB drive full of Owen Wilson "Wow" clips. Most people I know e-mail "Wow"s to themselves or host them so…
But my experience of integrating Owen Wilson wow effects into a wide variety of applications over many years is that you inevitably hit a point where there are things you can't do unless you have access to a good REST API.
Ultimately, if your app needs Owen Wilson wows then it's best to architect it to use an API from the start.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

I am sorry and surprised to hear that. I would think especially now it wouldn't be too hard to auto generate a good portion. My experience is very limited but sometimes people ask me to turn on subtitles and they are usually perfectly fine, even the ones that random people on the internet contribute for free - can you elaborate?
I've done some commercial CC work recently for a studio and it is REALLY, REALLY hard work. Way harder than it looks to get it right. Some pieces I would do would have computer-generated first pass. This would be good in places where the words were very clear and the vocabulary was regular. But TV and films can use a lot of weird domain words (see e.g. sci-fi or fantasy) that the computer can't track. And the compute…
hopefully not for wanting to use an Oxford comma!
